Glove box won't open. What gives?

[Dave M]

On my 94 525i I had to also to loosen the four philips screws just above the glove box door & under the dash cover, then slightly bend down the metal plate & squeeze the two ears of the latch mechanism together to get the cover open. The latch barrel goes thru a hole in that metal plate you slightly bent down & two ears pop out from the latch barrel keeping the door closed. Difficult to explain clearly.

You're right, it is hard to exlain clearly , but it will make better when I'm attempting the fix. Thanks for the advice.
